Why Parents Should Teach Their Kids to Respect Police Authority [One Minute Feature]

No authority is infallible besides God. Parents, police officers, and other authorities can make mistakes. This doesn’t mean we should completely disregard their authority.

Why Parents Should Teach Their Kids to Respect Police Authority [One Minute Feature]

This is why it is important for parents to raise their kids to respect police authority. Even if you don’t always agree with police, I encourage parents to teach their children to comply with law enforcement officers.

Why it is Important for Children to Learn to Respect Police Authority

As a former policeman myself, I can virtually guarantee you that your child will never be shot by a law enforcement officer—race notwithstanding—if you follow a very simple strategy.

Simply train your kids to obey legitimate authority. That’s it. But it starts with our kids first respecting and obeying our authority as parents.

This starts by simply showing up. Be there—and never paint the police as your family’s enemy, regardless of your own past with or stereotype of law enforcement. No sane policeman is going to shoot anyone for simply doing what he is asked. In short, our kids need to know that police are friends—not foes.

"It is such a wonderful, God inspired thing you have done to help all of these children. I think people would love to read your book and learn more. You have helped changed so many lives, people will want to realize & learn about the work you are doing. It is so important." - Doris Newcomb, WFAX
"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist
